The Independent Police Complaints Commission, which is investigating the events that led to Mr Charles’s death, said “we understand the concerns raised following Rashan’s death.”

A statement added: “We will independently examine the circumstances of this incident, we will follow the evidence, we will consider whether there is an indication there may have been misconduct or criminality, and we will seek to answer the questions that Rashan’s family and the community of Hackney understandably have.”
